Creamy Mango Gelatin Gelatina De Mango Recipe Ingredient Quantities

• 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 packets (about 1/2 ounce) unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

How to Make this Creamy Mango Gelatin Gelatina De Mango Recipe

1. Start with the blooming of the gelatin: Take a little bowl and put half a cup of cold water in it. Then sprinkle an even layer of unflavored gelatin over the surface of the cold water, allowing it to remain undisturbed for about 5 minutes. The mixture will look the same as it did when you started the process. However, during this time, the gelatin was absorbing the water and has now reached its full capacity. Once you have been patient for 5 minutes, take a fork and stir the mixture up. At this point, the mixture might seem like a sad, sloshy soup, but have faith—you’re on the right path.

2. In a blender, mix the diced mangoes and sugar. Blend until smooth, then set the mango puree aside.

3. In a medium pot on low heat, mix together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk. Stir until the mixture is warmed through but not at all boiling. Would you like me to keep going?

4. Add the milk mixture to the bloomed gelatin, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

5. Mix together the mango puree, the vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
1. Stir in the mango puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

6. Take the saucepan off heat; allow the blend to cool a little.

7. Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl through a fine mesh sieve, letting the smooth liquid glide down into the bowl while trapping any bits of mango flesh, fibers, or gelatin lumps that might otherwise create a bumpy mouthfeel. This is the key step in ensuring the final texture is uniformly creamy.

8. Transfer the blended solution to a gelatin mold or a collection of single-serving dishes.

9. Chill for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin is completely firm.

10. When set, carefully remove the gelatin from the mold onto a plate for serving. Cut the dessert into slices and serve it chilled. Enjoy this creamy mango treat!

FAQ

• Can I use frozen mangoes instead of fresh?Indeed, using frozen mangoes is an option. Just be certain to let them thaw all the way through and pour off any extra liquid that might accumulate before you put them to use.
• How do I prevent lumps in the gelatin mixture?To prevent clumping, distribute the gelatin evenly over the cold water, allowing it to absorb and swell for several minutes. Then, while using low heat, stir until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
• Can I substitute the sweetened condensed milk?Although sweetened condensed milk is recommended for creaminess and sweetness, you can use coconut milk or almond milk with added sweetener as an alternative.
• Is it possible to make this dessert dairy-free?Certainly, you can substitute evaporated milk and whole milk with dairy-free alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk, and use condensed coconut milk in the same manner as you would use condensed milk.
• How long should I refrigerate the gelatin for it to set properly?Chill the gelatin for a minimum of 4 hours, or just until it becomes solid.
• Can this recipe be made in advance?Certainly! It is possible to make the gelatin a day in advance, and this is actually the best option for texture and convenience.
• What should I do if the gelatin doesn’t set?If the gelatin doesn’t set, make sure the gelatin was completely dissolved and properly bloomed. Then reheat gently and refrigerate again.

Creamy Mango Gelatin Gelatina De Mango Recipe Substitutions and Variations

You can substitute canned mango puree or frozen mango chunks for the fresh, ripe mangoes.
Substitute coconut milk mixed with sugar for sweetened condensed milk to make a dairy-free version.
For a richer flavor, swap half-and-half for evaporated milk. For a lighter, dairy-free alternative, use almond milk.
When a recipe calls for whole milk, I might use 2% or a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk.
For a vegetarian alternative, agar-agar can be used in place of unflavored gelatin, adhering to the package instructions to ensure the setting power is matched.
